Enhance your health and wellness with Spoonk's Eco Foam Acupressure Massage Rider Mat. With Spoonk's Eco Foam Acupressure Massage Mat, you can treat your body and calm your mind in just 20 to 40 minutes on the mat. The Spoonk Eco Foam Acupressure Massage Mat will energize you in the morning and help you unwind in the evening. Regular use of the Spoonk Eco Foam Acupressure Massage Mat will create the desired level of relaxation in your body that prevents the accumulation of stress and tension. You may find that you sleep much deeper and have more energy throughout the day after using Spoonk's Eco Foam Acupressure Massage Mat.

How It WorksThe Spoonk Mat is based on the principles of the Indian bed of nails and Japanese shiatsu massage. They may stimulate specific reflex points throughout the body to release blocked energy, ease tense muscles and create deep mental and physical relaxation. On your Spoonk Mat, 6,210 small spikes provide equal pressure on the body. You simply lay on it, ensuring that your “trouble areas” are covered by the mat’s spikes—and the mat does the rest! The mat’s spikes may stimulate blood circulation, relax tense muscles and induce "feel good" hormones (endorphins and oxytocin) that release feelings of wellbeing and calm.

What is Acupressure?Acupressure is an ancient healing art, originating in India and developed in Japan as shiatsu massage. Traditional Chinese medicine uses acupressure as one of its techniques to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Fingers, thumbs and tools such as an acupressure mat press body points called reflex areas. When reflex areas on the body are pressed, it prompts the body to increase blood circulation and release blocked energy. As a result, acupressure encourages the body to balance itself, easing muscle tension and relieving pain.

Frequently Asked Questions:

When is the best time to use my acupressure mat? It depends. If you would like to energize yourself for the day, you may want to use your mat in the morning. If you feel stressed and need time to refocus and rebalance, you can use your mat during the day. If you are exhausted or overwhelmed and have trouble falling asleep, you may use the mat before going to bed. That’s the beauty of having your own acupressure mat—you can give yourself an acupressure treatment whenever you need it, whenever you want it. Regardless of when you use your mat, the results include increased blood circulation, a sense of calm and a feeling of health and wellbeing.

For how long should I lie on the Spoonk Mat? If you are new to acupressure, Spoonk recommends beginning with a 5 or 10 minute session. Once you become accustomed to the sensation of the spikes pressing against your skin, gradually lengthen your session to 15, 20 or even 40 minutes. To experience ongoing physical and emotional benefits, Spoonk recommends a daily session of approximately 25 minutes.

Is the acupressure mat safe for children to use? Children older than seven years of age can benefit from acupressure treatment. It calms them and helps them to relax. Some children use the Spoonk Mat at bedtime. Children should be supervised by an adult while using the mat. Because a child’s skin may be more sensitive to the spikes, a child may need to wear a T-shirt to be comfortable.

Is the acupressure mat safe for pregnant women?If you are pregnant, consult your physician before using the acupressure mat. Spoonk cannot recommend the Spoonk Mat for pregnant women although they know pregnant women who use it.

I have high blood pressure. Should I use the mat? Some people report that their blood pressure decreases after a session on their acupressure mat. Spoonk recommends that you consult with your physician and consider that he or she monitors your blood pressure levels before and after using the Spoonk Mat. The Spoonk Mat is neither a substitute for blood pressure medication nor is it a cure for your medical condition.

To Relieve Back Pain and Improve SleepLie down on the mat with your legs on the floor. Place a pillow or a rolled towel to support your head. If your back is not in full contact with the mat, you may bend your knees, Focusing on your breath will help you adjust to the pressure on your skin. Relax on the mat 20 to 40 minutes.

To Relax AbdomenLie down on your stomach on the mat. Put your hands under your head as shown in the picture. For ladies, place the mat below your chest area to avoid direct contact. Recommended time is 10 to 20 minutes.

To Relieve Tension in Your Neck and FacePlace your face on the mat (You may use a thin cloth over the mat before you lie down) for 5 to 10 minutes on each side. After the session, it may leave an imprint on your face, but this will disappear shortly.

How To Use Spoonk Mat for Sleep Induction:

Start the treatment 10-40 minutes before you want to sleep.

Place the Spoonk mat on your bed. You can use a small pillow or rolled towel to support your neck.

When first using the mat, if the initial sensations are too strong, place a thin cloth over the points before you lie down on the mat.

Position yourself so that your back and neck rest on the small plastic points. The area on the back could include the neck but it is also effective to treat the area from the shoulders to pelvis.

Relax by breathing deeply. In the beginning you may experience strong sensations due to pressure of the stimulation points on your skin. This initial discomfort will fade away in a few minutes. You will then be rewarded with an amazing and relaxing warm feeling due to increased blood circulation which will spread all over your body.

For the first 3 sessions on the mat, 10 to 15 minutes is sufficient. The recommended session for deep relaxation and sleep induction is 30 to 40 minutes. It may vary from person to person.

When you feel ready to fall asleep, gently remove the mat and place it under the bed.

Absolutely amazing, if i could give it 10 stars i would. This really pokes your fingers when you are pulling it out of the bag, and you think 'how will i lay on this? ouch!" " but it feels really amazing. Something about laying on it somehow doesn't hurt at all. i even laid on my stomach and it is very relaxing. I would definately recommend this for destressing, relaxing, and a better nights sleep. worth every penny!!!!
